Hypancistrus and Tanganyikan cichlids breeding
My favorite plecostomus too. Anytime anyday I choose L134 over L46 ...

Peckoltia compta are beautiful in the own right,. (it's really hard to ditch "L134" eh?)
Hypancistrus zebra was described in 1991.
And what are we calling them now?
Don't count on L134 going away though the numbers are supposed to be "de-commisioned" once the fish is described!
I'm sure "compta" is descriptive in latin but it just doesn''t quite make it IMHO...
L134 needs something with a little more gumption!
